Top five strikers Barcelona should target to replace Robert Lewandowski ft. Alvarez & Guirassy

The Catalan club will need a top striker to replace the Polish forward.

Here are five potential replacements we think FC Barcelona should consider as Robert Lewandowski is reportedly set to leave at the end of the current campaign.

As Barcelona have pulled enough levers to ease some of the pressure, their financial condition isn’t as dire as it previously was. However, don’t expect them to spend €200 million or more on Erling Haaland.

Here are five possible Lewandowski replacements that Barcelona ought to consider.

List of strikers Barcelona should target to replace Robert Lewandowski

Rank	Player
5	Serhou Guirassy
4	Victor Osimhen
3	Joao Pedro
2	Alexander Sorloth
1	Julian Alvarez

5. Serhou Guirassy

Bild reports that Barcelona have added Serhou Guirassy, a striker for Borussia Dortmund, to their shortlist. Guirassy, 30, is the most recent player the LaLiga team is apparently considering as they search for a long-term replacement for 37-year-old Robert Lewandowski.

Dortmund are reluctant to let go of their star forward. But there may be a clause in his contract that permits certain clubs to sign him for €70 million.

4. Victor Osimhen

After contacting Galatasaray about a potential summer transfer, Barcelona are said to have taken the lead in the competition to sign the Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen.

The Spanish powerhouses are reportedly showing a lot of interest in the prolific Nigerian attacker ahead of the transfer window by making an unofficial approach. According to Turkish football source Serhan Türk, Barcelona are willing to pay a high price for the striker.

3. Joao Pedro

Despite an already successful season under Hansi Flick, Barcelona are intensifying their preparations for the upcoming campaign. Bolstering the attack is emerging as a clear goal. Deco, the sporting director, is actively looking for a top-tier centre forward.

Joao Pedro has become a player of increasing notice. The Chelsea forward’s mobility, adaptability, and fit with Flick’s tactical style make him valuable. However, reports from Sport indicate that any move would be very difficult.

2. Alexander Sorloth

According to reports, Barcelona have returned to Atletico Madrid and a certain Alexander Sorloth in their quest for a new striker.

Barcelona have launched a “formal inquiry” regarding Sorloth in an effort to replace Robert Lewandowski, according to reporter Matteo Moretto.

According to Radio Marca, Barca have reportedly turned to Sorloth because he shares Lewandowski’s profile and could “adapt quickly” to Hansi Flick’s team.

1. Julian Alvarez

Julian Alvarez is, without a doubt, the striker who has been most frequently connected to a transfer to Barcelona. Any prospective deal would probably be comparable to the one that brought Antoine Griezmann to the Camp Nou in 2019. He is now with LaLiga rivals Atletico Madrid.

However, this signing is of the “if money were no object” variety. To sell Alvarez, especially to a domestic competitor, Atletico would seek more than €100 million. Just keep your expectations in check; something could occur between now and the summer.
